Silk industry
What I found most interesting was the silk tour and specifically the machine itself. The mechanics of it were fascinating, especially because everything is so technologically advanced now that it was super cool to see something so physically complex and the entire process. It's amazing that they were able to make everything without making a mistake because it seems like that would be impossible with so many strings and components to it. Also, the fact that anyone had enough concentration and determination to do that job and revolve they're life around it is unimaginable to me.

Dude, I totally bet that people messed up. :D I was actually wondering the same thing. I bet they had to double or triple check to make sure that they didn't screw up. But wait.... That would be really tedious. Maybe they just are perfect. Some people probably made mistakes but those people probably got fired. I would mostly hate being the apprentice who has to pull the strings down. I feel like if there would be any mistakes, they'd happen there. The apprentice would space out and grab the wrong string and the entire project would be ruined.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I feel like that would be the worst job in the world. So tedious
ReplyDeleteYa I agree it would be very tedious but I also think it would be so rewarding to make something that beautiful by hand
